The luxury performance SUV space arguably began with the early-2000s Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG, but Lucid’s 2026 Gravity Grand Touring proves just how far the concept has come. While not marketed outright as a performance SUV, the Gravity masterfully blends practicality, luxury, and speed.
Priced at $94,900, it’s the brand’s first SUV, with a $79,900 Touring trim on the way and a more powerful version rumored to exceed 1,000 hp. Even so, this “mid-level” Grand Touring trim already makes a serious impression.
Lucid let the Gravity speak for itself during back-to-back comparisons with rivals like the BMW X7, Rivian R1S, and Cadillac Escalade IQ. With a 38-ft turning radius, up to 120 cu-ft of cargo space, and a curb weight over 3,000 lbs lighter than the Escalade IQ, it balances size and utility with ease.
Powered by a 123-kWh battery, the Gravity offers an EPA-estimated 450 miles of range and ultra-fast charging—adding 200 miles in just over 10 minutes. Inside, it features a 34-inch 6K OLED display, an intuitive control layout, and plush materials with California-inspired themes. While its minivan-like silhouette may divide opinions, the experience inside is pure luxury.
The Gravity’s optional air suspension and Dynamic Handling Package allow it to rise to 9.3 inches of clearance or hunker down to 5.2 inches for tighter handling. Despite weighing nearly 6,000 pounds, it sprints to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds with 828 hp and 909 lb-ft of torque. It’s sharper and more engaging than many of its German rivals, with Porsche-like steering precision.
Off-road, a prototype drive mode revealed impressive agility and rear-biased power delivery, turning dirt tracks into drift playgrounds. An official off-road mode is coming via software update.
The Lucid Gravity isn’t just a practical family hauler—it’s a luxurious tech showcase and a true performer. If the ML55 AMG started the luxury SUV story, Lucid’s Gravity is writing its next chapter—and aiming to lead it.
